As authorities worked to establish a motive for the 18-year-old
college freshman who stabbed four people on a California campus
Wednesday, more disturbing details emerged about the attacker.

Faisal Mohammad, who was killed by University of California Merced
police, was described by at least one witness as smiling as he slashed
at victims, called a loner by a fellow dorm resident and drew praise
Thursday from a Twitter account associated with ISIS, which just last
week released a series of videos calling for lone wolf stabbing attacks.

“May Allah accept him,” read a tweet in Arabic from a Twitter
account that terrorism experts say has carried previous ISIS propaganda,
just minutes after Mohammad’s name was divulged by campus authorities.

Disturbing indeed, especially given the spate of stabbing attacks in
Israel, an emerging signature move of individual jihadists. There’s much
we still don’t know. It’s certainly possible that Mohammad had other
motives for his attack, and that ISIS was merely being opportunistic —
seizing on the attacker’s Muslim name to create the false appearance of
jihadist influence. However, I don’t necessarily trust either the Barack
“workplace violence” Obama administration or painfully
politically-correct California authorities to be entirely forthcoming
with evidence.

Once again, we won't be told anything about his upbringing, his parents, their background, if and where his father attended mosque (not to mention, who was preaching, and what, when the father was there.)

America is wide-open to the Jihadi Islamists.

In no way will we hold parents or religionists responsible for the actions of their offspring, or their recruits.

The "unconstrained" do not want to be tarred by their offspring's likewise-unconstrained acts, so they will work very hard at keeping all parents and parenting behind the curtain.

Wait! Where is the White House condemnation of using too much force to stop him? Shouldn't they have just handed him a grant to get some anger control management? Or blown kisses his way? OR DECLARED THE SCHOOL A NO KNIFE ZONE! That will stop someone like him!

About Me

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
